Hayden Arp

Hayden Arp is an artist whose work is equal parts intimate and electrifying. With a distinct lyrical voice, a striking personal charisma, and a penchant for bold genre-hopping, Hayden has built dedicated audiences around the world, from his native US to his adopted home of Vienna, Austria.

Raised in the Washington DC area, Hayden is a self-taught composer, songwriter, and performer. After releasing multiple records from the ages of 11-17, Hayden earned himself admission into the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he studied composition and music technology. 

In the years that followed, Hayden released “For Gabriel,” an EP that The Fader called “Tingling, gorgeous,” and toured the US 9 different times. In 2020, he moved to Vienna Austria, becoming the fourth generation in his family to live in Vienna.

Since then, Hayden has established himself as a central figure in the Viennese music scene. His 2022 LP With Eliza was praised in outlets such as Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung and Kulturnews, and his 2025 single Coming Up For Air peaked at #3 in the Austrian radio station FM4 charts. 

He lives in Vienna’s second district and is currently at work on a new album.
